Jeffrey Hartog, MD

I was a patient of Dr. Hartog’s back in 2002. Dr. Hartog and his staff were all very professional, and I was extremely happy with the results of my procedure. I can attest to the fact that Dr. Hartog does measure his patients, and he doesn’t recommend ever going over large or doing anything when you are young. Based on my experiences with Dr. Hartog, as well as the experiences of everyone I have sent to him over the years (there have been MANY– at least ten people that I can think of) he is nothing less than professional and seems to always get exceptional, natural looking results. I highly recommend him! I have also heard that his wife does the best botox in the area! I have never had it myself but was told by someone that I referred that she did it almost painlessly. Their prices are comparably, if not a little higher than some other doctors in the area but worth every penny!

When I say the WORST doctor I mean it. I wish there was a way to give someone zero stars or a thumbs down. Anything to warn anyone who is considering Dr Hartog. I had my first set of breast implants done by this doctor in 2008, he put a moderate 400cc saline implant in my extremely small frame body. He also did not notice or measure me to realize that I have what is called pectus excavatum (which means my chest wall caves in a bit) as well as a extremely narrow chest. Without measuring and being knowledgeable enough to know any of this he put WAY too big and too wide of an implant on me. This resulted in me developing symmastia which is also know as uni-​boob, kissing implants, or bread loafing. After 8 months my implants were touching in the center. I also lost all sensitivity in my breast nipples which was also because he cut a nerve while making his incision. When I came in he acted as nothing was wrong. When I pointed it out he said to fix it I would need smaller implants and he would have to sew down my chest wall in the center. So, there I went again under the knife to let him fix this problem which he caused. I went down to a 375cc silicone implant. Months later, the same problem occurred. I was told I would need to go smaller and he would have to sew down some more. So here I was, 21 years old and having my 3^rd breast surgery in under 2 years. I went down to 350cc high profile implant. I should of had a 350cc high profile implant from the beginning and none of this would of happened. When I woke up he had me completely taped on the bottom. He told me to keep the tape on for a few weeks, so I did. When I finally removed it I had a scar off to the right side of my breast as if he were going to put in a drain or stabbed me on accident. When speaking to other doctors that’s all they could guess it was, but it should of never happened. The scars he left on my nipples were AWFUL. You could tell he didnt cut properly where my skin met with my nipples. It was absolutely awful. Finally, I didn’t have a uni-​boob, but I definitely didn’t have the breasts I thought I was going to achieve from getting breast enhancement. With this experience I have realized YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. This doctor was cheap, easy to get an appointment with. Those were the first two signs. If a doctor is able to fit you in for surgery 3 days after your consultation, more than likely he’s not a good doctor. If you go to Miami or Beverly Hills where a lot of the well known plastic surgeons are not only are they more expensive but you have to wait 3 – 6 months to even get a consultation and another 3 months to get a surgery date schedule. I really hope this Unilocal review does someone deciding to go to this doctor. SAVE YOURSELF. You can contact me personally and I will give you more information. My roommate at the time got her breast done from this doctor the same week as I did, we had scheduled together and she had an awful experience as well. Fortunately enough for her she was smart enough to let another doctor fix her problem instead of allowing him to do it 3 times like I did. Only reason I allowed him to do it is because he was only charging me for anesthesia. Go to someone reputable and if you have to pay a little more money than do it. ITS WORTH IT!!!
In response to the doctors comment below. He is a complete liar. I didn’t recommend what size implants I wanted, I asked for his suggestion as I am not a doctor, he is. I was allowing him to make the decision not knowing what the difference was between moderate, high profile, or extra high profile. I was a young 20 year old girl just coming in to get her breast enhanced. He never once mentioned that I had pectus excavatum. He also never measured me, this must be something he now does. He did such a horrible job that I recently requested for my file including photos to have my file looked at by a different surgeon for revision and he wouldn’t even release them per my request. He is probably that embarrassed of his work. Any doctor would look at the photos and know exactly what the doctor did and it was completely his own error. I also love how he has no response for the gash he left on the right side of my boob. He should get his eyes checked, he couldn’t even make a clean incision on my aerola. This doctor shouldn’t be practicing. When he messes you up he will just ignore you, since he’s already collected the payment. I also have never had surgery done at a doctors office who only pricks your finger for blood and a pregnancy test. A real doctor will send you for completely blood work to make sure everything is ok before going under the knife. Awful, awful doctor. He should be showing up in the OR wearing a bozo the clown outfit. Save yourself, please. You will thank me later. I no longer live in Florida but I have had friends who have had amazing results from Dr Fiala. Trust me. I wouldn’t be putting this much effort into a review if I didn’t think it would help someone else.

The entire staff at THC is amazing! I would not trust my procedures to anyone else! They take the time to discuss with you all the options and help you make the best decision for you. The facility is very clean and inviting. I enjoy going in to see all the wonderful ladies and enjoy the compliments I receive after I leave. If you are looking for the perfect place for all your skin and body needs… look no further!
